In reality, they want Assad to be removed, not to have bombs rained on them.

regardless if misdirected it may be, it is something that gives them hope. or else what do they have?

i really cannot believe as we sit here safe and comfy as please, asking if the kids understand they could end up being a victim.

Very sympathetic. I'm assuming your home is comfortable tonight? Do you have a full belly and a sense of security as you mock these children?

Most posters on this site proclaim to be thinking of the children in their call against war. I can honestly say you're the first I've seen to state they simply don't matter at all.
